58% Informative
Patrick J. McGinnis coined the term FOMO in 2004 to quantify fear of missing out on something fun, grand, or important.
Now, he's called FOBO , the "insidious twin" of FOMo.
FOBO can look like piling up as many options as possible, piling up "maybes" and abandoning ship when it's time to actually finalize plans.
